My Bio
I've been a professional full time freelancer since 1984 working as a comic artist/writer on numerous UK humour comics such as BUSTER, OINK!, VIZ, THE BEANO, THE DANDY, TRANSFORMERS, SONIC THE COMIC, TOXIC, and many more.
Characters I've created include Combat Colin, Brickman, The Suburban Satanists, Derek the Troll, Tom Thug, Pete and His Pimple and others.
Currently writing/drawing Team Toxic for TOXIC, drawing Postman Prat for THE DANDY, and occasionally contributing to VIZ.

I haven't had much time to post here recently but thought I'd drop by today to promote my new blog. You'll find it over at:
http://lewstringercomics.blogspot.co.uk/
I'll be showing some of my older work there, plus news of any new stuff. I'm currently running the first Combat Colin serial on there, from 1987! If you remember it, or have never seen it before, I hope you'll enjoy it.

Combat Colin Returns!
0 min read
Firstly, my apologies for not being on DeviantArt for a long time and for not replying to any messages. It was a busy summer although unfortunately things have quietened down a lot now due to comics making cutbacks.
One recent project I've been involved with is as a contributor to the new online comic Aces Weekly. This is a brand new venture, the brainchild of David Lloyd (yes, THE David Lloyd, artist of V for Vendetta) who has gathered a bunch of us together to produce creator-owned strips for the comic.
As a lot of people who had read Combat Colin in the 1980s have asked if he'd ever return I thought this would be the ideal opportunity to

Every now and then I'll dig through my old artwork and sell some pages on eBay. Never any recent work I'm afraid, as over the last few years I tend to finish most of my pages in Photoshop (fill in blacks, make corrections etc) - so you won't be seeing any pages from Toxic, Dandy or Beano for sale.
However I am selling some of my old pages from Buster and Viz right now. You can bid on them here:

The Viz colour page has a high starting price because it's the only painting I've ever done so I do

Happy Birthday Stringer! From all your fans
happy birthday 
Happy birthday Lew! 
Hey dude, I can't believe you're on deviantart. I love your work man. You did Tom Thug in Buster comic. I used to read Buster all the time as a kid. Plus I love the work you did for Pathetic Sharks. that's my all time favourite Viz comic!
Thanks. Tom Thug was one of the strips I enjoyed doing the most. (Which is fortunate, as it ran for ten years. ) I'm working on a Viz page at this very moment. It's a Felix and his Amazing Underpants one though, but I have a Pathetic Sharks one in mind for the July issue.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply!
